Chapter 1438: Final Chapter [OE (OPEN ENDING) · "Her and His Garden of Eden" (Part )]

Luna was carrying a gun.

"boom!"

These days, for some reason, she suddenly became tired of city life and decided to join the army.

As if she had experienced a lot of unremembered things, her physical fitness inexplicably improved a lot, and her five senses became far superior to ordinary people overnight. She was soon admitted to the military as an exception.

After joining the army, she took the initiative to sign up and went to the most dangerous northwest area to guard the border.

Drug dealers, human traffickers, arms dealers... There are always people who unscrupulously challenge the bottom line of the law and humanity, and what she has to do is to become a righteous "modern knight", turning her rifle into a knight's gun, replacing tears with blood and sweat, and rushing to the front line without fear of hardships or evil.

With her superhuman perseverance, she was promoted all the way, widely praised by generals and comrades, and the number of stars on her shoulders increased.

Finally, a female medical soldier overcame worldly rumors and public opinion, walked up to her and hugged her.

"...I don't care about your age, family background or gender." The female soldier said, "I only care about you...Luna. Your unyielding body like the sun, your strong will like steel, you touch me like a flower - you are a 'modern knight' as noble, beautiful and just as a yellow rose."

With the knowledge of a few people, they hugged each other tightly.

Luna has always been happy.

In front of her is the justice she pursues, and behind her is the support that keeps her from succumbing to the secular world.

However, when she tossed and turned at night, she would occasionally dream of a white-haired girl... and a group of people whose faces she could not see clearly.

...Who is that?

Anyway, life is already happy.

As long as you can keep moving towards your ideal of justice... In fact, the missing things are not something you have to hold on to.

The Knight of the Yellow Rose is a very relieved person.

……

"Akane..."

"Siber... Er?"

"Hey, whose name is this? And... why did I dream of a group of people playing duck and goose killing in a villa..."

"I... why am I... crying..."

——Luna, the Northern Admiral, dedicated her life to slaying evildoers. Even in her old age, she continued to fight on the front lines until her old wounds recurred and she passed away. She was hailed as a "true knight" by the United Nations.

……

"Master—Master!"

On the magnificent Manhattan Avenue in Eagle Country, a blond young man walked ostentatiously, like a sideways crab.

A young man wearing glasses hurriedly caught up and said breathlessly: "Master Aini, the master of the family asked you to go back quickly. Regarding the issue of property distribution..."

"That's enough, Hubert!" The blond young man crossed his arms and showed a cold expression: "I don't want to be tied to the world of fame and fortune for the rest of my life. My brother is a human being, so let him inherit!"

Hubert and several black-clad bodyguards were shocked. Hasn't Master Aini always been proud of his family, as proud as a little prince? Why has he become a different person recently? Not only does he sneer at huge wealth, he also talks about going to a distant place to see the stars and the sea, and comprehend the mystery of fire...

"Young Master..." The butler wanted to persuade him a little more.

Hubert smiled, adjusted his glasses, and whispered to Aini:

"Okay... I wish you the best."

The housekeeper was dumbfounded and didn't know how to dissuade him.

At this time, a luxury car came speeding from the corner of the street, and a woman with rose-red hair sat in the car and rolled down the window.

"My little Prince Aini, where do you want to go? Big sister will take you there to play." Julia hooked her finger and smiled charmingly.

"Yes! Master Aini, don't even think about leaving us alone!" Hans, the man in the back row, laughed.

"Master Aini, I heard that the volcanoes in Africa are very wild. Let's go and have a look! I don't know why, but these few days I suddenly felt that life cannot be just about money. We should treat every day as if it were our last day!" Celt, another man in the back row, grinned.

Their smiles were brighter than the sun. Without warning, Aini burst into tears.

"Julia, Hubert, Hans, Celtic..." Eni opened the car door and sat in.

"Hey! Master—Master!" The butler's voice was left behind.

The pink convertible sped away on the golden street filled with the smell of money and neon lights.

The explosive rock music rushed out from the front of the car and floated in the night sky filled with lights.

Ahead is the rising sun, gold, fine wine, and the golden sunlight in his flaming eyes.

……

"Speaking of which, why do I have this obsessive pursuit of the term 'Secret of Fire' in my mind?"

"The psychiatrist told me that this is called the 'anchor effect'. This word is the anchor I once planted for myself. The old me should have thought: Only by deepening my memory of the word 'The Secret of Flame' and desperately remembering this word as an anchor can I remember the people who are closely related to this word when I forget everything else."

"What on earth did I go through in the past? Why did I presuppose a future where I would forget everything? Did I already foresee that one day I would forget everything?"

"Maybe when I truly understand the 'Secret of Fire' one day... I'll be able to remember it..."

——A well-known world traveler, Aini, likes to visit various exotic places with fire. He compiled a travel book "The Secret of Fire", which has been passed down to later generations and his reputation will last forever.

……

"Have you heard? This year's Nobel Prize winner is actually her...!"

"Isabella! My mentor, she solved a thousand-year-old physics problem overnight..."

"Oh my god, did God bless her head?"

The cheers of the world, the golden stage, and the heavy trophy.

Isabella Caljos wore black-framed glasses and smiled at the world's camera. When all the compliments and cheers faded away, she returned home.

"...Using the bonus to build a hot spring at home is really unlike a research fanatic like you." A middle-aged woman with black hair and black eyes was soaking in the hot spring, looking up and smiling at her.

"Eleven, you are smiling so happily. Whose firewall did you break through today?" Isabella took off her glasses.

"Hey, it's an Italian arms dealer, there's really a lot of filth hidden inside..." Eleven shook his finger: "Let's not talk about this. Come, to reward you for becoming world-famous, I specially bought a basket of your favorite tangerine peel candy..."

The tangerine peel candy tastes sweet and sour.

Isabella didn't know why she became close friends with this woman. A few days ago, Eleven, as a hacker, accidentally attacked Isabella's laboratory network. After some negotiations, the two turned from enemies to friends, met online and became good friends.

They skipped the process of slowly getting to know each other and became close friends instantly. If it weren't for their different sexual orientations, it would have been called "love at first sight."

Fate... is really amazing. Isabella smiled as she ate the tangerine peel candy.

"Eleven, are you still going to be a hacker?"

"Of course, I love the feeling of roaming around on the Internet. What about you? Are you going to retire?"

"No, I think the human brain is a very strange thing, especially in the field of memory, which often deceives us."

"You mean..."

"Yes, next, I plan to lead the team to conquer the field of memory in the human brain. I think if there is something that has been forgotten, maybe we can restore it through technology."

"correct."

"Ok?"

"Isabella, from now on, can I be with you? I can cook, wash clothes, and sweep the floor. If you plan to devote your life to scientific research and have no plans to get married, we can be together..."

"it is good."

"Ok?"

"I said, OK. I am willing to stick with you as your best friend until we grow old together."

……

"Issa... Bella..."

"I... can finally... go see you..."

In 2086, Eleven passed away at home. Her adopted children found several scientific research papers on the human brain in the USB flash drive in her hand, and according to her will, threw them into the fire and destroyed them.

At the end of the paper, she wrote a delicate sentence: "Regarding forgotten memories and human brain memory mining technology, Isabella and I finally decided after research that there are extremely dangerous secrets behind this, and there is no need to open this Pandora's box."

……

Northland, St. Petersburg Cathedral.

The handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes knelt on the ground, covered with a black veil and wearing a chiffon robe that looked like a long skirt, and bowed his head in compassion.

People passing by who saw him thought he was a devout believer.

"Just like the leading actor in a movie..."

"So handsome..."

Burris ignored the praise.

He often felt empty inside.

The Romanian nun told him that it was his dry soul that needed the comfort of faith.

He visited St. Peter's Basilica, Milan Cathedral, Seville Cathedral, Florence Cathedral... all over the world, trying to find peace of mind, but all to no avail.

Until he accidentally saw a photo while browsing his phone.

It was a photo of a Dragon countryman. Although Burris thought that this person was not the one he was looking for, he suddenly felt at peace when he saw the appearance of "black hair and black eyes".

...Yes, this is what he is looking for. The God he is looking for must look like this.

God...my God.

Please look at me.

He knelt down, expecting to find Him.

On the one hand, he was extremely pious. But on the other hand, he felt that his piety was false. He did not really believe in anyone, but the benefits brought by faith made him feel peaceful.

He got up and went to apply for a visa to live in Longguo for a long time.

He will spend the rest of his life walking to resolve this confusion in his heart.

……

"Whatever."

"I will pursue you, seek you, and meet you..."

"My confusion, my interests, my demands... my false god."

"Please don't leave me."

——Boris, who has been searching for the path of faith all his life, prayed like this.

……

The leaves swirled and fell.

Su Mingan sat in the coffee shop, staring at the sycamore tree outside the window.

The black-haired girl sat opposite him, looking calm, stirring a sugar cube.

"...After they pass away, I can bring them back to life. Since this is a dream, the people you care about don't have to die." The Spiritual Dream Envoy smiled:

"If you are not satisfied with this development. You want them to remember everything and travel around the world together, I can do that too."

"It's okay, everything is happy and perfect."

"Whatever life you want, you can get it."

Su Mingan's smile was light, but it was also somewhat fragile. He was like a doll made of broken porcelain pieces, looking complete but actually full of holes.

"Yueyue, my university's Exploration Club is holding a script-killing event this weekend. I will participate. You can come and play too."

"Okay, that should be interesting."

"Also, the horror game I didn't finish editing is finally finished. Please help me check the feedback in the comment section."

"Okay."

“My followers are increasing very fast… Maybe the day will come when I become one of the top 100 UP hosts.”

"That's right." Yueyue suddenly said:

"We never went to an amusement park when we were kids, and it's always been a deep-seated wish of mine... Can you come with me?"

Her hand reached out as if to support him.

His forehead touched her palm, as if trying to hide his slightly sad expression:
"Okay... let's go together."

On the distant eaves.

A young man with long sea-blue hair and a pair of wings stood in a high place where no one could see him.

Lu stared at Su Mingan and Yueyue in the coffee shop, then looked at his phone:

"UP host... Is this Su Mingan's hobby? I don't quite understand this, but as long as he spends money to promote it, it will be fine. He still has tens of billions on hand, so he can buy this website first..."

"I am glad that I am the Sea King. As someone who has retained his memory, I can still help you from afar. However, Su Mingan, you are very happy now, so I will not disturb your peaceful life..."

……

Su Mingan often dreams about the past.

Those people, those things, haunted him in his dreams.

Where did Siber go? Is the missing Noel still alive? What are Boss Rabbit, Spark, and the Eleventh Seat doing now? How are the worlds in the ruins developing?

However, it is no longer possible to take further steps.

He and she, and the two worlds, remain forever in this peaceful dream.

Maybe one day, I will find an opportunity to go to the universe again. But that must be... in the very, very distant future.

Occasionally, when Su Mingan woke up at night, he would think of Lu Shu carrying him and running forward desperately under the World Tree.

I remembered the indifferent gaze of the gods in Yunshang City.

I thought of Hui Bai lying in a pool of blood.

I remember Noel's nonchalant smile and the last look he gave him before leaving.

...Why on earth? Why do you look like that, why do you smile like that.

There is no answer anymore.

Under the sycamore tree, 19-year-old psychology student Su Mingan looked up and saw the whole mountain covered with colorful golden light, the molten light like fire, and the broken dreams like gold.

He suddenly missed those people very much.

But the Ring of Time was lost, lost by him. After entering the dream, he was forced to lose everything.

——For the peace of his hometown, he gave up everything.

For some reason, it was clearly a happy sunset. In the afterglow of the setting sun, he touched his chest, the nostalgia and gentle pain entangled together, and suddenly he felt so painful that he couldn't breathe.

……

[“There are no flowers in White City, but I hope that every flower you see in the future will be me.”]

……

[“Everyone, salute the hero who saved this continent!”]

……

[“Yang Xia, I’ve finally…grown up.”]

……

[“Xie’s child, you are a good child. Grandma blesses you and you will be happy…”]

……

[“God, the flowers are blooming.”]

……

“Grandpa, Grandpa!”

……

[“Su Da savior, please don’t let me down…”]

……

On the night he turned 20, he heard the clock chime as he blew out his birthday candles.

He stepped into the long river of time and looked back.

A bunch of blurred faces, a vast expanse of white, are smiling in the forest of stele on the other side of the river.

"Did I... make the wrong choice?" In this illusion, he finally couldn't help but ask softly, his teeth couldn't stop chattering, and tears suddenly couldn't be contained and flowed down.

He is an idealist who wants the best of both worlds and a crazy paranoid.

But faced with the choice between the two, he chose the more peaceful and smooth direction.

Hearing his question, those blurred faces, those deceased figures, standing on the other side of the river, smiled:

"——As long as you are happy, Su Mingan."

"——As long as you are happy and joyful, Old God."

"—I want to see you happy, Lewis."

When he came to his senses, he saw the cake in front of him with its candles extinguished, and the voices and figures were gone.

Yueyue and a group of classmates came over and asked him what wish he had made.

So he closed his eyes again and silently said in his heart:

……

I hope everyone is happy.

I want everyone to be happy.

If some people are destined to be unhappy on this path, then please allow me to repent and atone for my sins throughout my life.

I am a wounded soldier who can no longer return to my daily happiness, and an unhealable scar has been left on my heart.

I will always be alert to the past.

It doesn't matter if no one appreciates me or if I'm forgotten. Or, if Yueyue has problems in the future, I can take care of her.

I can no longer indulge in happiness.

Even though the pain of guilt and regret...

Stay with me forever.

……

Please make everyone happy.

Please make everyone happy.

……

……

More than half a year later, Su Mingan entered his junior year. With the support of an unnamed foreign tycoon, he won the honor of being one of the top 100 UP hosts.

After changing his clothes, he wore a casual white shirt and planned to attend the celebration party held for him by his classmates in the afternoon.

Everything is smooth, peaceful and beautiful.

After getting in the taxi, he was drinking milk tea when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

He lowered his head and looked at the screen——

……

"Ding dong!"

[Shen Xue: Su Mingan, there is my birthday party tonight, please don't be late.]

……

……

If there's a gun in the first act, it's going to go off in the final act.

……

……

……

[OE (Open Ending) First IF Line: "Her and His Garden of Eden", END. ]

[If the "Observer" is willing to anchor this ending, please terminate the "Observation", believe it is the only truth, and leave the "Observation" interface. ]

[Next, we will turn to the original main storyline's memory lens...]

……

"Pfft."

In front of the white door, Yueyue's chocolate was thrown into the lake.
